document. Please read 84A220081 in it’s entirity for full clarification.
When suppliers cannot determine the product type from the purchase or engineering documents,
they should contact their Wabtec Sourcing Leader for instructions. See General Reference #12
for additional guidance in the selection of specific packages for different modes of transport and
shipping conditions.

Plastic Materials
Plastic materials provide an economical barrier for short-term protection. However, all
plastic materials will eventually allow moisture to permeate, which could result in a wet,
corrosive atmosphere around the product if exposure time is too long. Time is critical
when using plastic barrier materials. Shelf-life should be indicated if critical.
Foil Laminated Barrier Materials
Foil laminated barrier materials are much more expensive than plastic materials but allow
moisture to migrate through at a much slower rate, providing protection for much longer
periods of time.
Desiccant
Desiccant absorbs moisture and is placed inside of the vapor barrier material but must
not be in contact with the product. The quantity required can vary by manufacturer, but
the general formula is 1 unit (33g) for each 90 in2 (580 cm2) of exposed vapor barrier
surface area. The quantity increases when wood, corrugated and other materials that
can contain moisture are packed inside the vapor barriers, so the quantity must be
adjusted for specific applications.
Vapor Barrier Material and Desiccant Selection Table
The following table provides basic guidelines for barrier material and desiccant selection:

Dust Cover
A dust cover is a simple plastic bag or sheet draped over a product to help keep it clean.
It is not designed to prevent corrosion. This type of cover must be kept open to allow air
to circulate around the product, or condensation will occur and promote corrosion.

Vacuum Pack
When barrier materials are heat sealed, it is most effective to vacuum excess air from
inside of the barrier to provide the driest atmosphere possible at time of packing.
Desiccant is always required when a vacuum pack is used to absorb moisture that
already exists inside the pack, and moisture that migrates through the barrier material
over time.
WARNING: Because VCI materials condense on all bare metal product surfaces they
must be tested to insure no negative effects on the electronics or any other sensitive
components of the product.
The type and amount of VCI material to be used is dependent on the type of metal to be
protected and the style and cubic dimension of the package being used. Follow the
manufacturers’ recommendations when selecting a VCI material and the required
quantity for a specific application.

2.0 General
2.1 Scope
This document defines the domestic and international packaging requirements for Wabtec products.
These requirements apply to Wabtec Manufacturing and Supplier finished good products. They also
apply to Service part shipments from Wabtec Manufacturing and Suppliers. Wabtec site leaders MUST
meet all applicable requirements as referenced in Quality Management System document, QSR 7.5.5,
“Material Handling, Packaging, and Storage”.
The purpose of this document is to provide controlled, documented packaging requirements for
worldwide distribution of Wabtec products. The requirements specified in this document are
minimum requirements. They may be exceeded to comply with specific country or local
regulations or requirements, but these minimum requirements are mandatory.
This document includes general and specific requirements, general reference information, and refers
to other, more detailed specifications that are beyond the scope of this document. The goal is to
provide global requirements to help ensure consistent, adequate, and economical product protection,
and efficient and safe handling for all inbound and outbound Wabtec products.

When suppliers cannot determine the product type from the purchase or engineering documents, they
should contact their Wabtec Sourcing Leader for instructions. See General Reference #12 for additional
guidance in the selection of specific packages for different modes of transport and shipping conditions.
Use “reusable/returnable containers” whenever the cost of the containers and the return transportation
is justified. Wabtec Sourcing Leaders will provide guidance to select or design containers and assure
return to the supplier.
“Multi-pack” “line use products” whenever possible to minimize packaging material cost and waste.
Do not use “individual packages” for “line use products” except when the size, weight, or fragility of the
product do not allow “multi-pack.”
Use Wabtec “milk run” carriers, when possible, to reduce the cost of delivering products and returning
packaging materials.
When specified, ship “finished good products” in “individual pack, double trip containers” so that the

Products susceptible to corrosion must be packaged to provide a dry, non-corrosive
environment during the expected time of shipment and any storage. Vapor barrier materials
from simple plastic bags and films to heavy foil laminated scrims must completely surround
the product and be sealed to prevent moist air from coming in contact with the product.
Desiccants must always be used with sealed systems to absorb moisture that is inside the
vapor barrier material at time of packing and moisture that migrates through the barrier over
time.
5.1.9.2.3 Desiccant
Desiccant absorbs moisture and is placed inside of the vapor barrier material but must not be in
contact with the product. The quantity required can vary by manufacturer, but the general formula is

WARNING: Because VCI materials condense on all bare metal product surfaces they must be tested
to insure no negative effects on the electronics or any other sensitive components of the product.
The type and amount of VCI material to be used is dependent on the type of metal to be protected
and the style and cubic dimension of the package being used. Follow the manufacturers’
recommendations when selecting a VCI material and the required quantity for a specific application.
5.1.10.1 General
Normal temperature extremes anticipated during distribution are 70 C (158 F) to -40 C (-40
F). Products susceptible to damage within this range shall include packaging with thermal
protection and the outside of the package shall be marked or labeled with the safe
transport/storage temperature.
Special precautions must be taken and/or special carrier handling arrangements made when
ambient temperatures are expected to fall below the freezing or damage point of the
product.
Packaging can delay temperature change, but it cannot stop it. The product core
temperature will equalize to the ambient temperature typically within a few hours.
Label or mark packages containing products susceptible to low temperatures with the
warning "TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE - DO NOT FREEZE".
Label or mark packages with the exact freezing or damage point temperature if other than 0C
(32F).
Typically, liquids increase in volume when they solidify. Design liquid packages with
adequate headspace to accommodate this expansion when possible.
Special precautions must be taken and/or special carrier handling arrangements made
when ambient temperatures are expected to exceed the product damage level.
Packaging can delay temperature change, but it cannot stop it. Eventually the product core
temperature will equalize to the ambient temperature.
Label or mark packages with high temperature damage point when below 70C (158F).

In addition, under high tension steel banding can spring back and cause serious injury when
cut to access package.
In addition, for quality assurance, galvanic contact, such as through wet paper or corrugated
fiberboard, will cause corrosion in both ferrous, and non-ferrous metals. Composite strapping,
often referred to as “synthetic steel”, should be used as an alternative to steel banding when
properly used, having similar strength, and holding capabilities without “creep”.

Wabtec manufacturing and distribution facilities may have specific requirements for size and style of
pallet for internal handling and racking. Each facility will communicate their specific requirements for
inbound materials directly to the supplier.
8.2.2 Stability
All crates and boxes that are tall, top heavy, or otherwise unstable, shall have wood bases designed
to prevent accidental tipping during shipping and handling. Unstable is typically defined as an item
122 cm (48") tall and greater, having a center of gravity higher than one half its standing height or
having a height of 2 times or greater of the shorter base dimensions. A standard test to determine
stability is the 22-degree tip test. (Tip the product 22 degrees from vertical and release. It should
right itself without tipping over in either direction). The maximum tilt angle expected during
distribution is 20 degrees. This can occur when a product is moved from a truck bed to the ground
using a ramp. Reference diagrams below for typical examples of wood base designs that can be used
to increase stability:

Use the figure and table below to help estimate total shipping height. Crate designs vary, but the
design referenced can be considered very typical.
Typical Export Crate Component Identification
Standard Height
Addition
Base Runner 10 cm (3.5”)
Standard Total Shipping Height = Product Height + 19cm (7.5”) + Cushioning & Blocking
Minimum Total Shipping Height = Product Height + 5.7cm (2.3”) + Cushioning & Blocking
Note: To achieve the minimum crate height additions, special base designs and other special design
features are required, typically at a much higher cost than a standard export crate. Reducing the height
of the base runner below the 10 cm (3.5”) standard will also result in increased handling problems, extra
costs, and delays during worldwide distribution.

Products weighing greater than 32 kg (70 lbs.), but less than or equal to 1000 kg (2200 lbs.),
that usually require mechanical handling. These products usually ship in a crate or large box
with wood runners and must provide access for fork trucks, hand trucks, or other handling
equipment.
Milk Run
A closed loop trucking process that moves Wabtec products and components between
Suppliers and Wabtec Manufacturing facilities, and Distribution Centers.
Minimum Pack
When a product ships with very little protective packaging. The package usually consists of a
light wrapping of plastic film, cushioned paper, bubble wrap, or other similar material, with
some means of handling provided. The product can have built-in wheels, built-in fork
openings, be attached to a shipping dolly, or be secured to a wood base.
Multi-Pack
Products packaged with more than one item (all the same part number) in one package.
Packaging
All products made of any materials of any nature to be used for the containment, protection,
handling, delivery, and presentation of goods, from raw materials to processed goods, from
the producer to the user or the consumer. Non-returnable items used for the same purpose
shall also be considered to constitute packaging. Packaging consists only of:
(a) sales packaging or primary packaging, i.e., packaging conceived so as to constitute a
sales unit to the final user or consumer at the point of purchase;
(b) grouped packaging or secondary packaging, i.e., packaging conceived so as to
constitute at the point of purchase a grouping of a certain number of sales units, whether the
latter is sold as such to the final user or consumer or whether it serves only as a means to
replenish the shelves at the point of sale; it can be removed from the product without
affecting its characteristics;
(c) transport packaging or tertiary packaging, i.e., packaging conceived to facilitate
handling and transport of a number of sales units or grouped packaging in order to prevent
physical handling and transport damage. Transport packaging does not include road, rail, ship,
and air containers, etc.
Passive Label
A label that provides written information only. (i.e., "Fragile", "Handle With Care", "This End
Up", Etc.)
